Marine Growth in Stagnant Piping

Marine Growth in Stagnant Piping

Marine Growth in Stagnant Piping

(OP)
Does anyone know of any guidance for determining expected amounts of marine growth inside normally stagnant shipboard piping that is open to seawater?  I expect that the amount of growth is at least somewhat dependent on the piping material, since some materials are considered repulsive by the little critters.  So, maybe I can avoid marine growth altogether with the right material?

To: Mpisani;
Your posting is from 31 July 2002
Still hope to serve you with:
Copper-Nickel is probably the chosen metal.
See the links:
http://www.nidi.org/index.cfm/ci_id/10649.htm
A technical explanation can be found at:
Marine Corrosion Forum
http://www.marinecorrosionforum.org/tpjul02.htm
See Point 8.2 CuNi90/10 for sea water service.
And in a Forum we can make furher directed postings!
A good explanation in .pdf: AustralWright Metals,
10 pages (April 2001) See pages 3 & 4. Link:

Hope you have some "fruit" out of this.

Use a hypochlorination system.

The strength of a Forum lays in the responses generated!

If anyone doesn't need a feedback himself, it is always worth to have an input for anyone else!
This is what I appreciate.

Cordial greetings.
